FAQ
What is the difference between VWIC3 and NIM form factors?
The VWIC3 is a third-generation voice/WAN interface card designed for earlier Cisco ISR platforms, while NIMs are the next-generation form factor for the ISR 4000 Series. Check your router model before ordering.
Can the VWIC3-2MFT-T1/E1 handle both voice and data simultaneously?
Yes. Each T1/E1 port can carry simultaneous voice and data traffic, with each ISDN call individually identified as voice, video, or data via the bearer capability field.
